HISTORY

The Guaycura Indians lived on the southern area of the Baja Peninsula. In Central Baja, Pericu
Indians held up the first Spanish caravans that landed in La Paz in
the 1530s. The Spanish were in search of treasure, pearls and resources. Led by
Hernan Cortés, the Spanish explored the area, but left the peninsula after a few years.
During the heyday of Spanish colonialism in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, English and Dutch pirates found the Baja Peninsula to be the perfect base from which to attack Spanish ships carrying Mexican silver. Sir Francis Drake and Thomas Cavendish are a few of those
famous buccaneers that frequented Baja Sur.
